It only takes a quick look at the stats sheet to see exactly how important Dante Exum was for Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in its 79-88 victory at Virtus Segafredo Bologna on Tuesday night.
The Australian guard did a lot of everything by registering 17 points, 7 assists, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, which was enough for a PIR of 33. That’s the second-highest ranking of Exum’s two-season EuroLeague career, just trailing the PIR of 35 he recorded in a defeat at LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne earlier this season.
Exum, who first appeared in the competition last season with FC Barcelona, also reached a career milestone by surpassing 500 EuroLeague points, which came on his 51st appearance as he continued a fine run of form which has seen him reach double digits in scoring in 14 of the last 15 games.
